Welcome to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Chipping away at Society every day.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere.  There's Mount Rainier, the Olympic Mountains (see my blog header), Puget Sound, Lake Washington, and the Seattle skyline with the Space Needle.  Unfortunately, not too far beneath that beauty exist local governments who seem bent on ruining the livability of their …

The Health Nazis will Not let the US get back to normal…ever.

The Washington State Health Nazis, as demonstrated by Dr. Ali Mokdad of the University of Washington Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME).  The title of the KOMO story says it all: Expect "close to normal" summer but increase in Covid cases this fall".   Yes, there it is, the big BUT in the good …

Yes, it’s about Control now, not “Public Health”, and here’s proof

Finally, our Dictator here in Washington State has relaxed the statewide mask mandate that required everyone to wear a face-covering at all indoor locations other than home; with businesses made the enforcers by threatening them with fines or loss of business license if they admitted people with no mask on.  Now, those businesses may issue …

Confirmed: Seattle values vagrants and the “homeless” more than Taxpaying Citizens

A couple of stories caught my eye this morning.  The first one describes how a Seattle mom found out that: Green Lake bathrooms are reserved for the homeless. Green Lake is in north-central Seattle, and has a well-used walking/jogging/bicycle path around the circumference of the lake.  When I lived in Seattle, I used to take …

Welcome to Joe Biden’s (and Bernie Sanders’s) America

Good morning/afternoon everyone.  This morning, this is what we woke up to on this fine Monday morning in May. Colonial Pipeline taken down in massive cyber-attack.  Might be an act of War.  State of Emergency declared, gas prices to skyrocket.  Attack attributed to Russian hackers.  This one is not a hoax. Middle East explodes, as …

Confirmed: Electric cars are a Creature of Government (and environmental wackos)

The Environmental Wackos came first. They believe that human actions are causing the climate of our planet to become warmer (even though there is very little hard evidence that what increasing temperature there is, is actually caused by human actions). The Environmental Wackos believe that humans are throwing into the atmosphere of Earth too much …

Diversity…Divides

Do you remember the "motto" of the United States of America?  It it printed on the US Dollar bill.  It is: E Pluribus Unum The US motto is in a language that most people don't know any more, which is Latin.  It means "Out of Many, One". That means that every Citizen of the United …

Hey, YouTube! Don’t Be Evil. STOP the censorship!

Most of us are well aware that YouTube, its parent, Google, and other Big Tech companies have been quite blatant about their censorship of non-leftist voices.  Those voices include doctors, scientists, and politicians who don't toe the Leftist, Government-approved line.  An especially egregious example of this censorship took place recently.  An op-ed in the Wall …

Priceless, but expected: minority groups fighting each other for goodies

One of the characteristics of a party like today's DemocRats is, it is made up of a loose agglomeration of interest groups (in this case, victim groups), who ostensibly favor the same welfare-state policies.  Much of the time, however, they compete against each other in the scrum for favors. Today, there is an excellent story …
